"IT'S coming Rome", you told us. It's not though, is it.

Italy have failed to qualify for the 2022 World Cup just 257 days after breaking England hearts at Wembley.

The European champions were beaten 1-0 by North Macedonia in their play-off clash and will now MISS their second World Cup in a row.

Veteran centre-back Giorgio Chiellini trudged off the pitch after Thursday's shock defeat and whined that he felt 'distraught'.

Jorginho said the defeat would "haunt me forever" and boss Roberto Mancini is now being tipped for the sack.

And for England fans, it's oh so sweet.

North Macedonia stunned Italy with an extra-time screamer from Aleksandar Trajkovski to book their spot in the play-off final with Portugal.

That's right, they didn't even make it to the play-off final...

After the game, Chiellini claimed he was 'distraught' and dramatically added: "A large void is now within us."
